Before your new bathroom in Coleshill
Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Coleshill? Check with North Warwickshire Borough Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your new bathroom are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.
- Moving the toilet is the hardest change, because its waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack.
- Waterproof panels can go up faster than tiles and have no grout lines to clean.
- Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.

Options to consider in Coleshill
Like-for-like refit
The new suite goes where the old one was, using the existing water and waste positions. It's the quickest and most affordable option, and it's often all a bathroom needs. Tiling, flooring, furniture and the shower choice can all change completely while the plumbing stays essentially the same.
Layout change
Moving the toilet, bath or shower can make a small bathroom work much better. The toilet is the hardest to move because its large waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack. Water supplies and smaller wastes are easier to reroute, especially under timber floors, where joists can be drilled within safe limits.
What does your new bathroom cost in Coleshill?

Your questions answered
How do I get ready for the bathroom fitters?
Clear the bathroom completely, including the cabinets and the airing cupboard if it's in the room. Make space on the landing or in a spare room for deliveries. Decide on things like towel radiator size and mirror position before first fix, because cables and pipes are placed early. Let us know about parking and access for the skip or waste.
Do you cover Coleshill?
Yes. Coleshill (B46) is about 12 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
What if it's our only bathroom?
We plan around it. The toilet can usually be refitted temporarily at the end of most days, or put back early in the programme, so you're not without one overnight. The shower and bath will be out of use for most of the job, so it's worth arranging somewhere to shower, with family or at a gym, for a week or so.
Will I need permission from the council in Coleshill?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Coleshill is provided by North Warwickshire Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
